TN WTB 77-83 4 speed tilt column - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1968vetL-71 · 08-08-2011, 09:51 AM

Hey everyone. I just purchased a 79 scottsdale 4x4, 4-speed, A/C, tach, etc... with 64k miles on it. I definitely need a tilt column. I've seen a few on craigslist and i'm gonna check my local pull a part but I thought i would ask here first and give a board member a shot at selling some parts! Let me know what you have. I believe I need a 77-83 column for the correct wiring.
Thanks a bunch!

Matthew

madcow75 · 08-08-2011, 04:27 PM

Are you sure you are not looking for a 73-80 column to be correct?

1968vetL-71 · 08-08-2011, 07:37 PM

Madcow thats correct. 77-80. I was told up to 83? not sure if thats right. This is my first square body i've messed with so not too sure on what years share the same parts for everything.

madcow75 · 08-08-2011, 08:05 PM

Thats 73-80 as the wipers are on the dash and the high beams are on the floor and from 81-87 the wipers and high beams are on the column.

f.monroe · 08-08-2011, 11:57 PM

I have one from a 78 I think . It needs cleaning and repainting to make it nice. It was in a non running truck when I picked it up but I think it has the keys in it.I would take $125 shipped. PM me if interested.

madcow75 · 08-09-2011, 03:16 AM

Rude.... I didn't think you were rude at all, any new info to my brain is great. I have only owned a few square bodies and don't claim to no it all. All help is greatly apprecited. Today I feel I am smarter now... lol.

1968vetL-71 · 08-10-2011, 01:10 PM

Still looking!!!

f.monroe... I pm'd ya a couple days ago.

Thanks

bigblock73 · 08-10-2011, 06:49 PM

I just left one at a JY from a '79. I am going back next week I think, if you still need one. It had keys in it too.

70BLAZERX2 · 08-10-2011, 07:43 PM

you will have to ship it in..but the price is right. out of a 79.

1968vetL-71 · 08-11-2011, 12:58 PM

Thanks 70blazerx2!!!!!! Talked to the guy on the phone, everything is tight and clean with keys. Ships out today for 80.00 total!! Thanks for all of the leads everyone, I wanted to move quick. Thanks again.

Matthew

f.monroe · 08-11-2011, 11:17 PM

Thats a great deal on an A Column. I am glad it worked out for you. I have not been able to find my camera but mine is definitely not an A codition column.
Frank

1968vetL-71 · 08-16-2011, 04:47 PM

AARRRGGGHHH!!!! Well it looks like I"m still on the hunt for a FLOOR SHIFT tilt column. I recieved the one I purchased from auto-recyclers and low and behold its an automatic. Really?? As I called and explained it was clearly not represented correctly on their end, the sales guy preceded to tell me that If I could just remove the pin out of the auto shifter it would then be a "floor shift". I wonder if thats how they do business on a lot of their stuff. NOT COOL!!!!

So If anyone has a REAL 4spd tilt column, please PM me or let me know. I'd like to move fast. Thanks everyone.

**special-K** · 08-17-2011, 11:37 AM

Hey,what are you complaining about? You got a free shift handle!

Sorry,just had to add some humor to such a ridiculous situation.

f.monroe · 08-18-2011, 11:28 PM

Matthew,
I havent forgotten about the pics . I just have not found my camera and pics from my sons Droid arent coming through to my email . I am trying. It has the key in it , the tilt is tight , and the column is dirty and well worn . It would need to be cleaned and repainted but it is a manual trans tilt . I will find the camera and get some pics by this weekend if I cant sort out the ones my son forwarded to me .

1968vetL-71 · 09-10-2011, 09:40 AM

I am still looking for a floor shift tilt column !!!!!!

80streetcoupe · 09-11-2011, 05:18 PM

Hey Frank, I have never seen a tilt column for a floor mtd shifter in a square bodied truck before and I have been around these trucks since the mid 70's. If I was looking for one, I think I would snap yours up in a heartbeat.
If yours is still available, how much do you want for it less the steering wheel and the lower shaft??

1968vetL-71 · 09-11-2011, 08:02 PM

I actually pm'd Frank on 8-23 and was waiting for him too respond ( he said the wheel seemed loose and was going to check it out for me ) but never heard back. Thats why I'm continuing the post.

Frank- If you found out the column is indeed ok around the area you were questioning and if its still for sale please pm me back .

Thanks

**tkeduk8r** · 09-18-2011, 11:27 PM

I have one that will work for you!!!. Ill get pics of it tomorrow evening...
--Mike

nplocoman · 09-19-2011, 08:02 PM

I need one as well. I do not need tilt. The one I have is a tilt but was detroyed when the truck was stolen. It's a 78 gmc. Am I right in thinking a non-tilt will work?

1968vetL-71 · 09-20-2011, 01:54 PM

Nplocoman, north platte is my home town? What department u work in? I know a lot of guys out there.

I will have my non-tilt available as soon as I get a tilt in my truck. It's tight with keys!
